Thompson still stuck waiting, will his time at Oregon ever come?

Over 76,000 fans packed Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta for one the most anticipated opening week match-ups of the 2022 College Football season.

All through spring training and fall camp, new Oregon Head Coach Dan Lanning refused to let the media and fans in on who would be starting at quarterback for Oregon in this mammoth game. On Saturday he revealed, to the surprise of hardly anyone, that veteran transfer Bo Nix had secured the job.

Ty Thompson, a 5-star quarterback and No.9 recruit in the country out of high school, was placed behind a veteran transfer for the second consecutive season.
